i think a lot it revolves around what israel does and how scared they get. i think the president is committed to doing whatever he cannot to lead us into a third war in that region of the world within a decade. war with iran, even if it is just from above, just bombing raids, it would be a terrible thing for this country, a terrible thing for the region, a terrible thing for the world. i know a nuclear-arms iran would be terrible. i am not sure that it would be worse than a war with iran. >> dr. travis? >> i would agree with all of that. i think he will keep us out of war. he may utilize the u.n. differently. we are talking about iran, but we also have north korea, with nuclear issues there. that is equally as serious as iran. i think it will be a balancing act of trying to negotiate and do things through diplomacy rather than the military. that there's a lot of talk about citizens' rights. that would bring the u.n. perspective right into the body. >> that is what i was thinking, that senator kerrey would move over to that. >> i would agree with everything t
